Why no Necromancer class in SL?

Are you kidding me?!

Death Knight - TANK

Monk - HEALER / TANK

Demon Hunter - TANK

We need more Ranged DPS classes, either Necro or Dark Ranger imho.

Pretty sure a Death Knight is pretty much a Necromancer, tbf.

I don’t want ‘Dark Rangers’ personally. There’s enough Sylvanas in the game as there is.

Nope Necromancers and Deathknights are completely different, also there are many who would like Dark Rangers.

Don’t you dare suggest that joke of a class Tinker or I’ll punt you so hard across the Shadowlands Gnome!

Because they’re not that talented and DK has probably at least half of the Diablo necromancer abilities and Warlocks have the other half. What are you expecting them to give necromancer besides poison nova, bone prison and bone spear?

Not like Blizzard bothered to name them “Death Knight” and “Necromancer”, right?

I want a Tinkerer class!

We have too many death themed specs/classes already. 3 Different Classes…

Because every time a new class is introduced people hate it as long as it is the newest one. Except monks, they just flew under the radar since so little play them.

Yeah give tinker to Gnomes and Mechagnomes (and maybe Goblins and Furry Goblins too).

no i am not kidding you. i would love to see classes having 2 tank specs and one dps or another two healer specs and one dps like priests.

ranged dps, maybe, yeah, but tank and healers are in a more dire place right now than dps. theres a reason as to why tanks and healers are less played than dps. one of the reason seems to be that they are just boring and not original enough. so one or two new, fun tank and healer classes would benefit the game greatly. dps are a dime a dozen, they got plenty to choose from already, others, not so much.

necromancers and dark rangers are just way too similar to existing classes, they dont bring anything new to the table.

It’s just one really.

I don’t want any new allied races or classes.

What I would like are class skins and new specs being added to existing classes for example Bard & Battlemage.

I’d like to see tank specs added to mail and cloth classes, and a ranged DK spec (which could cover necromancy) as well as a heal spec that heals by bursting wounds and so on… just some ideas.

Shadow priest and warlock (and DK ofc) :woman_shrugging:t2:

Shadow priests are void themed and warlocks are demon-hell-legion themed.

I mean you can just invent new abilities too everything doesn’t have to be mirrored, necro could have different plagues, frost magic, death magic etc. Maybe a spec that siphons life and heals like a more dot oriented twist of disc, im just throwing random stuff out on the spot now.

And kelthuzad is the most iconic necromancer and he ascended to a lich.

Yeah only dk is death themed of those. Shadow = void magic, Warlock = Fel and shadow magic, Dk = Death + shadow/shadow frost/blood

I’d rather see class skins than new independent classes at this point. They already struggle to keep classes and specs balanced, and I hate how much flavour demonology warlocks lost when demon hunters came out. I’m worried the same thing would happen to unholy death knights if necromancers came out.

Earthwarden shaman tank, thxbai

Because they would take everything from Unholy Death Knights like Illidan wannab…I mean, Demon Hunters did from Warlocks?

Because a necromancer is who controlls and commands death, its energies and undead minions
Would be awkward to waltz around in the Shadowlands with such op setup; you know ,everyone are dead there!
And we already have them in the form of UH death knight
